A surprising number of so-called alternative therapies actually have their roots in very conservative conventional medicine.

Services / Peptide Therapy
Innovative peptide therapy can complement any treatment plan.
Peptide Therapy is an innovative medical science that uses precise amino acid sequences, which are called “peptides”. When these peptides are appropriately administered, they communicate with different parts of the body and can enhance the function of the whole body. They do this by binding to receptors on the cell surface and signal optimum messages for health improvement.
Scientists have identified over 7,000 naturally occurring peptides, and we at WholeHealth Chicago have seen first-hand how these peptides are highly specific in their action and very effective. Because peptides are generally naturally occurring in the body, they are usually extremely well-tolerated and very safe.
Peptides can be used in a broad range of health conditions and optimization:
- Enhancing Growth Hormone Production
- Balancing Hormones
- Improving Sexual Disorders and Erectile Dysfunction
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Insomnia and Stress Disorders
- Treating Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Inflammatory Diseases
- Autoimmune disorders
- Tissue Repair, including joints, tendons and ligaments, and bone

It seems that men wanted to control female sexuality since the dawn of time. “Aphrodisiacs” (named after Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and desire) appear in the medical writings of ancient Greece, and in Chinese medicine a combination of acupuncture and herbs apparently worked wonders. Ayurvedic practitioners may have suspected that spinal chiropractic manipulation was […]
